Known for its Call of Duty 4 tournaments, the E-Series LAN organisers are offering Enemy Territory a chance to feature at their LANs. In a move to try and better the offline event activity of ET, I spoke with the event organisers about running an ET edition of the E-Series. However, before we want to commit ourselves to anything, we want to test the water first of all.
Should the event go ahead, it will be held at the Kaos Gaming LAN centre which is located in Weesp, The Netherlands (about a 15-20 minute drive from Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam) on Sunday the 15th of May. It will be a one day event just as the previous Call of Duty 4 events have been, and the prizes will be cash and hardware (amounts dependant on team attendance). To get things started, I suggested a 6-team event and see how it goes from there. We’re going to need an admin to ensure things go smoothly on the day as well.
As the location is within the Benelux region, and isn't catered for "top" teams, we're hoping to see some lower-end Dutch / Belgian mix teams enter into this tournament. It's fantastic experience in a LAN environment and will almost certainly better the competition within the ET scene. Attending these events is also a fantastic opportunity to bring more multi-gaming organisations into the community.
To keep things plain and simple, I'm going to list what we already have, what we need and the LAN information (entry etc.):

LAN information
Send an email to seanza(at)tlr-esports.com if you would like to register your team, volunteer or if you would like to provide some feedback. If you’re registering your team, please include the following information:
Once I have received some interest from teams looking to attend and admins looking to help, I'll be able to confirm the event and provide an official announcement about the event. If you have any questions, ask below and try to keep flame away from this post.
You can now post your team name along with line up in the stickied forum thread I created: CLICK!

Good idea though :)
Good idea though :)
good luck!
but 175€? i assume that`s the price for a team to join?!
atleast that what i thought they were but i could have read it wrong :p
i wanted to go with a mate from uni to play CSS 5on5 but its just too expensive
to attend as a spectator or casual player isn't too bad i guess
+ what merl said :P
guess staying there isn't that expensive either, not from what i saw, when i was there... but only stayed @ friends house :)
sounds like a good deal to me - everyone gets there easily and on a cheap way, staying there is not expensive either, probably housing for the lan is not as expensive either, if there is a fitting place? WIN WIN WIN :)
but on the other 175 euro + low looking prize + 18 days to start makes this event impossible to happen :D
but ye, low entree, having a pc whole day (so no switching pc's) and some pricemoney looks quite ok + you dont even need to pay hotel or anything, just transport and entree fee
less matches no
When does it start and when does it finish ?
It doesn't cost so much [no hostel, only 175/team]. But starting at 9 force us to come the day before an sleep at the hostel. Will see and will tell you ;]
If they can do it, anybody can do it.
avi
but I'd go!
better to do 3on3, so 10 teams, just an idea
